(2) Despite the fact that Egypt had invaded Sudan in the 1870s the Abyssinian Empire successfully retrieved several garrisons and fought several successful battles with the Mahdi’s forces. A few years later, when England betrayed Abyssinia to Italy, there were widespread protests in England

Abyssinian (Ethiopian) warrior. During #blackhistorymonth I like to post little known bits of African history. So here goes with one of my favourites; in 1884, as the Mahdi swept all before him in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, England asked Ethiopia to save the Egyptian garrisons in South Sudan.(1)

We’re live tomorrow at Bay and Bloor for an afternoon of… well… swords and spells. I’m going to read from an unpublished fantasy novel, and goodness only knows what Sebastien will do. Turn me into a frog?

We’re not that small a market. Our publishers are mostly subsidiaries and are hidebound and greedy. There’s definitely room here for a new small publisher like Broken Binding in the UK to shake things up. Perhaps someone who could publish in French and English.

@decastell.bsky.social writes swashbuckling fantasy with brilliant characters and more than a touch of humour

Sometimes to write a scene and make it pop, you need to write a poem. Or at least that’s how I felt today!

It’s 1867, and this woodblock print depicts a battalion of Bakufu infantry on parade in Japan. Print by Yoshifuji. Yes, this is the sort of thing that fascinates me.
